Privacy
Your trail stays with you
Short version: we don’t collect your answers.
What you type stays on your device
Your cairn, summit, habits, check-ins and the name on your poster are saved in your own browser (local storage). They are never sent to us. Clearing your browser’s site data deletes them, and they don’t follow you to another device.
No accounts, no tracking
There are no sign-ups, no analytics, no ads and no tracking cookies. The fonts and images are served from this site, not from third parties.
What any website sees
Like every site, the company that hosts Persistently receives standard technical information when a page loads, such as your IP address and browser type. It keeps this briefly in server logs to run and protect the site. We don’t use it to identify you.
Posters you download or share
Your poster is drawn in your browser. When you download or share it, it goes wherever you send it. We never receive a copy.
Links to other sites
The research page and the crisis line link to other websites, which have their own privacy policies.
Children
Persistently is meant for adults and isn’t directed at children under 13.
Changes
If we ever add something that collects information, like a newsletter or analytics, we’ll update this page first. Last updated November 2026.
